I did a WOD at CrossFit Aspire in Cherry Hill, New Jersey today:

Strength:Back Squat 5, 5, 5

Metcon:
50 Mountain Climbers
15 Front Squats w/155#s (apprx 50% of back squat weight)
50 Double Unders
40 Mountain Climbers
12 Front Squats
40 Double Unders
30 Mountain Climbers
9 Front Squats
30 Double Unders

295, 305, 315
Time: 13:48

I got up to 315# X 5 on the back squats, which I think is a PR (can’t recall the last time I did a 5 rep set of back squats). Then the direction that we were given for the front squats weight for the metcon was to use a weight that was about 50% of the back squat 5 rep weight.

High rep mountain climbers in a WOD are horrible. They killed me! As did going straight from them right into heavy front squats. Time 13:48. Humidity here in New Jersey is much different than what I am used to. Felt like I was in a hot yoga studio during this WOD.
